Chapter 792 I Can’t Always Buy From The Military [Fourth Update]

Today’s commodity prices are not in the era of high prices in later generations, and the weapons purchased are still relatively worthy of this price. Although the profits are not small, but people’s thinking in this era is more optimistic about small profits but quick sales, and relying on strong industrial production capacity to make money, of course. , this can only be played in Europe and the United States, other places do not have such a strong industry, so they can't afford it.

"How many combatants are there now?" Guo Yongren asked

"The number of pure combat personnel has exceeded 30. At present, intensive training is being carried out in various bases. There are also 60 fighter pilots who have passed the training. There are more than 600 personnel who are still training. Various engineers and technicians have been trained. More than [-] people were recruited," Lei Fengming said seriously.

"More than 200 ship and submarine personnel have been trained, and more than 400 are currently being trained. Now the number is increasing by about 230 every month. After all, the operation of these weapons requires a certain level of knowledge. More than 100 people were selected, these people are not suitable for studying, we have resettled them elsewhere," Lei Fengming reported.

"Yes, but the number of personnel still needs to continue to increase. Those large mercenary companies in Europe have hundreds of thousands of combat personnel. We can't say that they surpass them, at least we can't be less than them," Guo Yongren said affirmatively.

"I think so too. At present, more than 2000 people can come from the mainland every month. We have applied for a temporary pass to take them to Henggang Island for training. After three months of training, they will be sent to other places. Each base conducts training, and qualified personnel from each sub-base will be dispatched to the Fucheng area and stationed in each city." Lei Fengming described the staffing.

Guo Yongren nodded, "Pay attention to communicating with Raytheon. Air defense radar and air defense weapons must be sufficient. Last time we prevented it, it was because the polar bears only dispatched ten or two teams. If it is dispatched in a large area , we must guard against it," Guo Yongren said seriously, and Lei Fengming nodded.

"Chairman, can you tell Raytheon that we really need a batch of anti-aircraft missiles. If the United States can't supply us, we can only purchase European ones. Otherwise, we can't form an effective threat." Lei Fengming seriously Said, Guo Yongren nodded.

After thinking about it for a while, Lei Fengming was right. Now that there are too many places, powerful anti-aircraft weapons are necessary. That kind of simple anti-aircraft weapons can't keep up with the situation. We must put some pressure on the four of them in the United States.

"I'll take care of this matter. If you install more radars for now, the weapon issue will be resolved soon." Guo Yongren said with certainty, and Lei Fengming nodded in agreement.

After discussing with Lei Fengming for a while, Lei Fengming left. The security company is very busy now. As the general manager, there are many documents that need to be signed by Lei Fengming himself.

After seeing off Lei Fengming and Guo Yongren, he returned to the villa. Uncle Fang was drinking tea in the living room. Grace was reading the newspaper. Doyle had already left and went back to the United States to take a rest. The future is very promising.

Guo Yongren nodded to them, and walked over. He wanted to go upstairs to make a phone call, but he remembered the time difference, so he had to wait until evening, and walked over to drink tea with Fang Bo.

Today is relatively quiet, except for Wu Yusen, no one bothers Guo Yongren. During this period of time, Guo Yongren and Wu Yusen discussed the script no less than five times. The final draft is finalized today, and the official shooting will start the day after tomorrow, with an investment of 600 million Hong Kong dollars. , almost doubled.

The cost increase here is mainly because Guo Yongren modified the remuneration of the actors, and added a little salary to Dilong and Zhou Fafa. Then, the cost was used on the set. Big scenes must have big scenes, and helicopters must be available. , Guo Yongren will not participate in the boot the day after tomorrow.

After dinner, after calculating the time, Guo Yongren went to the study to make a phone call. The first person he called was Thor Strauss, and the call was connected soon. Strauss had already arrived in the office by this time.

"Hello, that..." Strauss is in a good mood. The entire production line has been activated, and the transformation has been completed, and the production capacity has increased by a large margin. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as making money every day.

"Strauss, it's me, Guo Yongren" Guo Yongren said calmly, lighting a cigarette for himself while speaking.

"Guo, what's the matter?" Strauss said with a smile
"Record it, I'll place a batch of orders for you," Guo Yongren said directly.

"No problem, just wait a moment, I'll record it with a pen." Strauss was happy. The order for the umbrella will be completed by the end of this month. Now, a new order is coming again. It's only the beginning of the month, Strauss How could Si be unhappy.

Guo Yongren talked for a long time, probably more than 20 minutes, and Strauss's excited face was sweating. This time, the order was even more intense. With Raytheon's production capacity, it would take a long time.

"Strauss, this is a new order, you know, it can't be delayed" Guo Yongren said with a smile
"Guo, don't worry, our Raytheon production line has been remodeled, and this batch of orders can be completed within a few months." Strauss did not tell the truth. With Raytheon's production capacity, it will take at least six months.

"By the way, Guo, congratulations, in Southeast Asia, your umbrella situation has been completely opened." Strauss said with a smile, and Guo Yongren also smiled.

"Thank you, I also have a message to tell you, I hope you can maintain a good mood." Guo Yongren said slowly, Strauss was taken aback, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Strauss, you also know that my umbrella now has a place. I need anti-aircraft missiles, not that kind of close-range weapons. You know the performance of polar bear fighters. Those ordinary anti-aircraft weapons have limited capabilities. I need real anti-aircraft weapons. , think about it and give me an answer, if the United States really can’t provide it, I can only choose Europe,” Guo Yongren said seriously.

This matter is related to the safety of his own territory, all favors are put aside, and there is no talk of favors. After hearing this, the expression on Strauss' face became serious.

"Guo, I'll call you back in a few days." Strauss said seriously. Strauss fully understands Guo Yongren's meaning. If he can't provide Guo Yongren to purchase European Strauss, he can't say anything, because you don't give I can't starve to death.

Strauss understands the degree of threat facing Umbrella Fukushima. The polar bear plane is not kidding with you. The MiG series is famous. Fucheng wants to solve the threat from the air and count on anti-aircraft rockets, which is useless at all. of.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news" Guo Yongren said with a smile, the two exchanged some polite words, and Guo Yongren hung up the phone.

Strauss hung up the phone with a very solemn expression on his face, stood up and walked out of the company, "Nancy, inform all directors that an emergency board meeting will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon. It is urgent to be there. It is related to Raytheon. fate" Strauss said seriously, the secretary did not dare to neglect, and went to handle the notice immediately.

After Guo Yongren hung up the phone, he called Boeing's Omar and GM's Hughes respectively. Hughes had a relatively high EQ and IQ, so he told the truth to Guo Yongren directly. With the strength of GM's modified production line, it would take seven years. It took eight months to complete the order.

"Hughes, it doesn't matter, there is no war now, you can produce with confidence, I think you are already at the maximum load now, it is best to carry out a comprehensive update of the production line, otherwise, once you fight, you will have no time, I can't buy from the military every time, right?" Guo Yongren said with a smile.

"Well, all the production lines here are replaced with the latest ones, but once your usage is not so large, you have to buy a few of our production lines." Hughes said with a smile, and Guo Yongren also laughed, planning for a rainy day , Hughes is really not simple.

"No problem, but you have to give me a discounted price" Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Hughes also smiled, without any worries, Hughes was more relaxed.

"No problem, it must be a big discount. By the way, you must not only give me a list, but also other things," Hughes asked.

"Yes, Boeing and Raytheon have both, Hughes, I told Strauss directly, I need anti-aircraft missiles, otherwise I can't guarantee the safety of Fucheng, if it is really difficult for Strauss to provide them to me, I will I can only choose European products." Guo Yongren vented his anger to Hughes in advance.

Speaking of this kind of thing, hello, hello, everyone, after all, you can't supply me with other things, so I can't blame me for this matter. Hughes really can't do anything about this matter, see Strauss Take action, if you can help, I will definitely help.

"I understand. I told Strauss about this, and Thor has been working hard, but there is no result yet." Hughes said directly, and Guo Yongren nodded.

"As long as there is a chance, I will not choose Europe. I hope you will help him at that time." Guo Yongren said directly, Hughes smiled, Guo Yongren is really interesting, different from previous customers, this is OK People who become friends.

"We will help him if necessary." Hughes said directly, Guo Yongren nodded, the two chatted for a while, and then hung up the phone.

Guo Yongren is quiet, Raytheon and GM are not quiet anymore, GM also issued an order to convene a board of directors to study the problem of production capacity, Raytheon is to study the problem of anti-aircraft missiles, technology is not a problem, nor is production, the ban from the government is. the biggest issue.

"Gentlemen, if it is said that Umbrella purchased European air defense weapons, then our Raytheon's face can be said to have been thrown in the Pacific Ocean. Now it has reached a critical moment. We can't just watch the money belonging to our Raytheon being given by the Europeans. Take it," Strauss said, patting the table.
